Are the Acting Corps a reliable source to learn acting from in Los Angeles?
Acting Corps is a good school especially in Meisner training. However, most of the teachers there NEVER studied with Meisner. Most of them studied with someone who studied with someone who studied with Meisner. If you want to learn Meisner from someone who actually studied with Meisner, then go to Barron/Brown and Playhouse West. Here are the BEST schools in LA: Cold Reading/Auditioning -Margie Haber -Annie Grindlay -Brian Reise -Amy Lyndon Commercials -Hey, I Saw Your Commercial! -Chris Game -Stuart K. Robinson -Stuart Stone -Killian McHugh -Francine Selkirk-Akerman -Carolyne Barry Improv (All four are great) -Groundlings -Second City -Upright Citizens Brigade -Improv Olympic Scene Study/Acting (It varies. Some schools are not for everyone. Chubbuck, Eric Morris, and Howard Fine are not for people who aren’t fans of Strasberg or Uta Hagen (ie. affective memory and substitution.) Playhouse West, Joanne Baron/DW Brown, and Acting Corps are more Meisner oriented. Try to audit these place
